The F-14 "legend" is greatly because of the Top Gun movie... It was a good aircraft but tried to do too much with one airframe and thus didn't really do anything as well as a single purpose aircraft could.

For me it is the YF-12. An aircraft way ahead of its time. Pro: Very fast and long range, Con: costly to buy and maintain. Can you image the airframe with today technology, glass cockpit, fly by wire, etc. I remember working an ASPEN and in three radar sweeps he was off my scope. When I ask the pilot how fast he was going the reply was "More than adequate". Kelly Jonson was thinking way outside of the box and the SR-71 was born.

Personally a fan of the Bombardier range. The Learjet will always have my heart, still got my first knocking about somewhere. Eventually you need a bit more space though and it has to be the Global 8000.

Hi all, I am planning to buy my first rc jet. I searched on Internet and found some cool jets at http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/rc-jet.html at reasonable prices. I am bit confused, which one to get. I like F-16 most, but F-22 also look good. Can you help me guys to choose the right jet? Thanks.
